Ready for the long weekend? I know I am in an adorable turquoise shirtdress that’s perfect for holiday weekends and beach vacations!

Besides the shift dress (last seen here), the shirt dress is my favorite dress silhouette. Really, it’s universally flattering – you just have to toy with the shape especially if there is a tie. I recently learned the trick of ‘blouson-ing’ out the dress over the tie if you’re feeling like it’s still not the most flattering.

I am usually weary of silk during the summer, but this dress is breathable and the color is amazing (comes in a great orange, too!).

In case you haven’t heard, Elaine Turner has a really great new jewelry line called the Southern Charm Bar. Pick out your favorite charms and stack them up or keep it simple on necklaces. The prices are reasonable, meaning the pieces are super attainable, and the quality is great. Highly recommend for a gift!

P.S. Here’s an early Fourth of July sale alert for you! Currently, Elaine Turner is offering 35% off your purchase, simply use code: STARSANDSALE plus, free shipping on all orders over $150!

I snagged these great platform wedges (here’s their regular wedge counterpart), on sale a few weeks ago, and even though they’re a steep price, I highly recommend. They’re super comfortable and can be dressed up or down amongst a variety of pieces in a closet.

Counting down the days until the holiday weekend!! xx
